According to the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Rights, immigrant women are less likely to receive adequate reproductive health care, including cervical and breast cancer screenings and treatment, family planning services, and HIV/AIDS screening and treatment, meaning that our undocumented neighbors, friends, and coworkers are not privy to the same reproductive health rights we have fought for, not to mention this can be a danger to the country's overall sexual health.

3. Immigrant women drive integration.

According to a study conducted by New America Media, immigrant women are the drivers of naturalization in their families, with a whopping 90 percent of female immigrants from Latin American indicating their desire to naturalize. In short: Immigrant women want to contribute to the melting pot that is America.

4. Immigration can mean more job opportunities for U.S. citizens.

Immigrant women make up to 40 percent of all immigrant business owners and 20 percent of all female business owners, in general. This statistic tumbles anti-immigration arguments suggesting that they will take jobs away from U.S. citizens.

If immigrant women were granted a more comprehensive path to citizenship, then shady employers would not be able to exploit and use them to undercut other American workers. This means fairer wages and better work conditions for all.

In fact, detaining and deporting immigrants can cost upwards of $40billion per year.

7. Immigrant women are less likely to seek out help against domestic violence than their American-born counterparts. According to the non-profit organization Futures Without Violence, abusers often use their partners' immigrant status as a "tool of control." These women are less likely to get help because they're afraid of what would happen if they came out as undocumented.

8. Deportation destroys families, plain and simple.

Thousands of American children born to undocumented parents have been separated from one or both of their parents. At present, hundreds of thousands of children born to immigrant parents in the United States are being raised in single-parent households, and nearly 5,600 children have been placed into foster care due to both their parents' deportation.

9. Immigrant women are part of our households.

In her open letter to Congress, Rep. Dina Titus reminded her colleagues that immigrant women have been a vital part of America's households for decades, as nannies, housekeepers, and care providers for our elderly relatives. Immigrant women make a majority of domestic workers in the United States.

10. Women's organizations from across the country are joining forces with undocumented women and rallying for reform.

Earlier this month, more than 100 women from various organizations, including the National Organization for Women, were arrested on Capitol Hill during a rally for immigration reform. Groups around the country continue to push for the legislation to be passed.
